![]() ![]() ![]() Suffice to say.some bad apples are making it hard for all of the good people to take advantage of what was otherwise a wonderful offering for educational institutions (having administered many systems over the 's always nicer to not have to worry about license limits and other baloney like that since it simplifies things for what is usually an already overloaded IT staff). ![]() Before I left recently, I had seen pages upon pages of shared drives in our GSuite Admin area of Shared Drives that were terabytes large (one as high as 100 TB or some ridiculously high number like that).with very little mitigation options being provided by Google to help avoid that from occurring in the first place (aside from taking the extreme measure of locking things down after the fact.but cleaning up that existing mess seemed to not have a solution.supposedly there were going to be some new tools released early this year to help out, but not sure if those are available yet). In essence though, one bad account could in turn create multiple shared drives it seems, and then from there grant access to other external Gmail accounts and swap the ownership to them, while still leaving the unlimited storage capabilities in place (at least that's been my perception of what I had seen in our instance). While our actual students/staff have not abused the unlimited-ness at all, there's been a big trend in recent years for fake spam/bot type accounts to submit online applications (particularly for the inexpensive community college level here in California) which would allow for those fake people to get issued accounts within the college systems (typically giving them a student email account). So we were really only setting up the needed GSuite integrations to give some access for students/faculty/staff to use the GSuite apps if they wished, so the "unlimited" storage side of things was an extra bonus. Just coming out of a higher education position I held for about 10 years.we were really only using GSuite for Education on the periphery of everything else we were doing (which was all Microsoft-based). ![]()
